“I Have The Shotgun Prepared To Old Yeller This Year”

On this week’s episode of the Hey Poor Podcast, I “DOOM” Coleman, Jay “Overwatch” Petrequin, Anthony “Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth” Spivey, and Jonathan “Flame in the Flood” Trussler join forces once again for the second half of our Farewell to 2016.

In addition to the website, Hey Poor Player can be found in page and group form on Facebook and Twitter, creating Let’s Play and video review goodness on Youtube (which is where I normally lives), and playing away for your entertainment on Twitch.

When not saying dorky, embarrassing crap like that, I is a game designer, science fiction author, and former reviews editor for the now-defunct GamerSyndrome.com with years of experience writing for and about games.
